WU CHUAN YOU STYLE TAIJIQUAN 2916

There are two Wu Styles, one from the lineage of Wu Yu Xiang and the other from the lineage of Wu Chuan You. This video shows Wu Chuan You Style Taijiquan. In Chinese characters, the two Wu are written differently, though they are pronounced in the same sound but in different tones in Mandarin, but are pronounced in different sounds in Cantonese as "Mo" and "Ng" respectively in Cantonese.

You Chuan You, a Manchu cavalry officer, learned Taijiquan from Yang Ban Hou, the son of Yang Lu Chan. It is therefore no surprise that this Wu Style Taijiquan, which was established in the 19th century, is similar to Yang Style Taijiquan.
